"Hi my name is Dave Schoeneck, and let's say that you have never skied before, you have spinal cord injury, or a disability and you want to ski and you want to see what it takes to get going. The first thing you're going to want to do is go to, call or go to a local ski resort and ask them if they have an adaptive sports program in place. And if they don't, then you just keeping working at it until you find one. There are a lot of wonderful programs around the country that you can find. Many of them have sponsorships so that if income, cause skiing is an expensive sport, if income is an issue they'll have sponsorships where it won't be an issue. Obviously if you're able to pay, that helps support the program for those that can't pay. But definitely look at the most convenient place that you can go to. Get out there as quickly as possible and get started because it will be something that you will never regret and you will always be glad that you did it."
